t of each message, whether the cost increases depending on the number of students at the campus, and how interested we are in students of Type A vs. Type B (., will one type be more likely than the other to get an offer and to be successful on the job). One could imagine using both messages on some campuses if the additional cost were justified by the resulting increase in hires.Question7University 4 graduates 1,000 seniors each year.Q7: How many new candidates might be generated by changing the recruiting message at University 4 to Pathway to Leadership? A: The answer is 20 candidates (., an increase of over 100%). Number of each type of student at University 4:1,000 seniors x 60% = 600 Type A students1,000 seniors x 40% = 400 Type B students Candidates attracted be See the World message:(1% x 600) + (3% x 400) = 18 candidates Candidates attracted by Pathway to Leadership message:(5% x 600) + (2% x 400) = 38 candidates Increase in candidates resulting from change in message:38 18 = 20 more candidates (an increase of over 100%)Question8Q8: What sort of next steps should we tell our client we39。d like to take based on what we have discussed today? A: The ability to e to a logical, defensible synthesis based on the information available at any point in an engagement is critical to the work we do. Even though we39。d consider ourselves to be very early in the overall project at this point in the case, we do want to be able to share our current perspective. The ideal answer would include the following points: FINDINGS There appears to be an opportunity to significantly increase total applicants of the same quality that we are getting today at the same or reduced cost: Increasing blanket advertising is ineffective and costly, but changing the advertising message on some campuses could increase applicants significantly without increasing costs. At one of the campuses we39。ve looked at, University 4, the number of applicants would go up more than 100 percent The costperhire varies dramatically from school to school. This suggests that there may be opportunities to reduce costs in certain places or reallocate resources more efficiently NEXT STEPS We plan to explore further ideas for increasing quality applications by changing the mix of schools, beginning with a more detailed review of the opportunities to reduce costs at certain schools After looking at levers to increase total applicants, we will be analyzing opportunities to improve the offer rate (., ensure we39。re not turning down quality applicants) and to increase the acceptance rate We will examine additional methods for attracting more applications from our current campuses (., referrals, clubs) in addition to assessing the impact of improved messaging on campus
